EUROPEAN-TYPE VARIETIES 199 



RECOMMENDED VARIETIES 



A vote for the most thoroughly tried and generally 

 satisfactory American red raspberries would probably 

 result in the election of Marlboro for early and Cuth- 

 bert for late. To this should be added Golden Queen, 

 if a yellow variety is wanted. London is younger, but 

 is pushing rapidly into the field, while Miller seems 

 to please on the Delaware peninsula. 



IV. THE EUROPEAN RED RASPBERRIES 

 Eubus Idceus 



At the beginning of raspberry culture in the United 

 States the European red raspberry had all the advan- 

 tage of age and breeding on its side, but with the 

 climate against it, it has lost the race. This has hap- 

 pened, too, notwithstanding the fact that there has 

 been no serious difficulty in growing it here. More 

 than one hundred varieties have been introduced, many 

 of them having been seedlings produced in America, 

 but in spite of that, few are now known or grown to 

 any extent. Their quality and appearance recommends 

 them to the amateur's garden, and it is chiefly there 

 that they are found. The varieties of this class are 

 usually less hardy, slightly more stocky in growth of 

 cane, and continue to ripen their fruit through a longer 

 season. See Section III. for a history of this type.
